Shark’s inaugural skincare gadget, the Shark CryoGlow face mask, debuted a year later than other prominent red light masks. It became apparent that Shark was perfecting the CryoGlow with distinct features. That delay proved beneficial, as Shark now leads the at-home beauty sector with its second skincare gadget: The Shark FacialPro Glow, introduced on Oct. 17. After 45 days of using the device, I’m prepared to provide further insights.

**What is the Shark FacialPro Glow?**

Shark portrays the FacialPro Glow as a “comprehensive at-home hydro-powered facial system,” transcending merely being a facial steamer. The FacialPro Glow facilitates dynamic at-home facials. It encompasses serums for the exfoliation process and is packaged with the FacialPro Glow, Depuffi, and a power unit in a travel case. The system boasts two interchangeable facial heads operated by a handheld battery pack.

The FacialPro Glow attachment incorporates a water reservoir for profound cleansing via hydro-powered extractions, featuring four nozzles to tailor suction according to skin type and sensitivity. The second attachment, the Shark Depuffi, resembles a stainless steel gua sha and provides immediate hot or cold contrast therapy, the first at-home device to offer this option. The heated setting supports lymphatic drainage and circulation, while the cooling setting calms skin following extractions and assists in sculpting and de-puffing. Both settings are adjustable and quickly reach the preferred temperature.

Morning sculpting on the cool setting resembles a metal spoon from the freezer, delivering a gentle sculpting face massage. The Depuffi’s design is ideal for enhancing cheekbones and jawline. The Depuffi will be available for individual purchase in 2026. SharkNinja’s naming trend is sustained with products like the Ninja Slushi and Shark Glossi.

The kit includes two serums: Derm Detox, an AHA + BHA exfoliating gel, and Hydro Infuse, a BHA hydrator with hyaluronic acid. Derm Detox should be applied and left for three minutes prior to suction to dissolve dead skin cells and soften sebum buildup.

**How does the FacialPro Glow function?**

Upon unboxing, the FacialPro Glow appeared intricate, but Shark anticipated a learning curve with labeled stickers and instructions. For extractions, fill the water tank, select a nozzle and intensity, and begin. Shark Beauty’s YouTube tutorial featuring esthetician Sofie Pavitt was beneficial for understanding how to use the device consistently across the face. The nozzles form a seal on the skin, and the device glides upwards, concluding with a kiss sound to release air.

Suction intensity is modifiable, and even at the highest setting, it isn’t painful. It feels akin to being in a fish tank with a sucker-mouth fish. It’s advisable to gradually acclimate, especially for sensitive areas. The FacialPro Glow ceases after three minutes, signaling when to progress. The final step involves using the Hydro Infuse serum in the tank to seal in hydration.

**My FacialPro Glow results after 24 hours**

The FacialPro Glow delivers immediate proof of cleansing, unlike the CryoGlow mask. The device contains two tanks: one for water or serum and a dirty water tank for extracted impurities. My initial use produced slightly cloudy water with specks, indicating the removal of excess oil and dead skin cells. The hydro-abrasion effectively lightened the sebaceous filaments on my nose.

The Shark FacialPro Glow seemed to rejuvenate my skin, leaving it soft and plump after a session of extraction and de-puffing.

**My FacialPro Glow results after 1.5 months: I adore the glow, but I must use it sparingly**

I began using the FacialPro Glow around Halloween and have been discovering the right equilibrium between de-clogging and over-exfoliation. My T-zone is oily and prone to clogs yet also sensitive, resulting in redness and irritation. Even weekly use can be excessive for me.

**If you possess sensitive skin or use Tretinoin, exercise caution**

The FacialPro Glow incorporates both chemical and physical exfoliation, which my sensitive skin cannot frequently tolerate. Even gentle nozzles may prove too abrasive. Sanitize nozzles with hypochlorous acid before and after usage to prevent irritation. I also utilize Tretinoin, necessitating caution with the use of the FacialPro Glow.

Regardless, the FacialPro Glow is effective for sebaceous filaments. My nose and chin appear clearer, and my skin feels softer post-use. The Depuffi’s cool setting is a daily indulgence.

At times, using the FacialPro Glow seems intimidating, requiring more time than the indicated 10 minutes. It’s not a rapid skincare step, and my restless mind often delays its use.

**Is the Shark FacialPro Glow worth it?**

If regular cleansing and exfoliation fall short, and professional facials are prohibitively expensive, the Shark Facial
